For Romney, as a candidate, it's a much easier position to play from. He can talk in hypotheticals and just make things up without any real substance or fact based on decisions. Sure he can talk about Mass., but that's a different game.

I really liked that Obama mentioned a few times (in the little time I watched) that Romney keeps talking about his "plans" but never offers up what - Jim Oct 4, 09:06 3
- Yep. That was Obama's best line. Something like "Why don't we know? Is it that these plans are so good they can't tell us?" -- nm - volnelk Oct 4, 09:09 1

- Didn't McCain say that same thing about Obama (and vice-versa)? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:07
